Restaurant Manager

As chef-owner and founder Ford Fry’s passion is to find great people and develop them. His current restaurants include JCT Kitchen, no. 246, The Optimist, King + Duke, St. Cecilia, The El Felix, Superica, and Marcel, State of Grace, and Beetlecat in Inman Park.

Fry’s culinary inspirations cover many years and much of the country: from eating out with his family as a child in Texas, to studying at the New England Culinary Institute in Vermont, to spending time as a ?ne-dining chef in Florida, Colorado and California—and eventually as a corporate chef in Atlanta. Though the corporate job didn’t suit him, he fell in love with the city. In 2007, Ford put down roots in Atlanta with Jct. Kitchen, a restaurant that’s as warm and friendly as its owner.

We are a growing, Chef driven restaurant group, with boutique and neighborhood restaurants that value farm to table ingredients. As we move towards the next phase of our growth, we are looking for managers with various levels of experience.

The pay is competitive based on level of experience.

Ford shares a love for restaurants with his staff and partners. Stop by one of the restaurants, and you’ll likely ?nd him in the kitchen or out front, working alongside his team and making his guests feel at home.
